PUBLIC NOTICE

The Louisiana Coastal Wetlands Conservation and Restoration Task Force is initiating procedures to deauthorize the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) Cheniere Ronquille Barrier Island Restoration (BA-76) project as requested by the Federal project sponsor, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the local project sponsor, the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, due to the availability of an alternate source of funds to cover its construction. Deauthorization of the BA-76 project would allow any unused Phase 1 funds to be returned to the CWPPRA program for other use. This 19th Priority Project List project is located in Region 2, within the Barataria Basin portion of Plaquemines Parish.

Prior to making a final decision, the Task Force will consider written comments on the request to deauthorize the BA-76 project. Written comments should be provided by April 23, 2015 to the following address:
Colonel Richard L. Hansen
District Commander
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District
Attention: Projects and Restoration Branch, CWPPRA Program Manager
P. O. Box 60267
New Orleans, Louisiana 70160-0267
If you need further information, please contact Mr. Troy G. Constance, Acting Deputy District Engineer for Project Management, at (504) 862-2204 or Mr. Brad Inman, CWPPRA Program Manager, at (504) 862-2124.
